A Poem by toanyone
"

Snapshot of my headspace atm.

"

I’m a simple mind with too many thoughts, ideas, concepts, and views

I don’t know too much, barely know a thing

Trying to learn and live but to get good

You gotta live and learn

Don’t have a leading mind and yet I’m made to lead

I don’t know how I haven’t touched the ocean floor

How do I still not sink?


I gotta process terabytes of information, input, data every second

How the hell have I not yet crashed?

The world is overloaded overwhelming

Me

You

Us

We need to shut down but also need to know

It’s a curse

It’s Prometheus knowing he will never meet Charon


I want to stop

I want to breathe

But I can’t put out the fires around the valley

I want to go

I want to know

But if I want to live I gotta stay home


I want to shout

I want to sing

But I don’t know where to begin

I want to own

I want home

But this 9-5 isn’t enough anymore


I want to quit

I want to give in

But there’s still a fire burning within

I want to change

I want change

But I was never taught how to begin
